JRutman Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Here you said that you thought that you were ruining the model by painting the putty lines in but it turned out to be one of the coolest paint jobs that I have ever seen dude! Great work. Really superb. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeroenpeters Posted June 12, 2011 Author Share Posted June 12, 2011 (edited) You guys are too kind. Especially after several mishaps today. Paint coming off. Touch ups. Ill fitting tail. Fixed it all, but a lot of swearing was needed... White 6 is on. pffff.... Edited June 12, 2011 by jeroenpeters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeroenpeters Posted June 12, 2011 Author Share Posted June 12, 2011 Another classy model rolling along the production line! Thnx! Here's the Salamander burning the candle on both ends The glass candle cups ensure a good allignment during fixating. I tested the weight of the engine and noticed this would be a tail sitter! With a buttoned up fuselage I found no way of inserting fishing lead or 4,5mm pellets. I cut the pellets in two, squeezed them to 1,5 mm discs and inserted them through the wing openings (that were not attached yet). Works fine, but the model is getting really heavy now! Especially since there was already a lot of fishing line weights in there. Normally you would put these in the nose cone, but since that is off, I have to put it right behind the cockpit. Since that is closer to the pivot point (F=M times d) you need more weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willi Hi Willi, Thnx! In fact; all the real 162 were tail sitters. When the guns were taken out for maintenance or replacement, the tail had to be supported. Scavenging the gun and removing the nose wheel don't help either... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out2gtcha Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 It worked! Something about video seems to really put you more in touch with the way the model looks. More so like your actually looking at it instead of looking at pics of it. Now youve done it Jeroen...........Ive got to go out and pic one of these up..............maybe even the V-tail and a set of scratched forward swept wings...... Great work Jeroen, LOVE it!
